At least we won't/ shouldn't get any "Apple", "Moses", "Pilot", "Kalel", "James"/ boys' names for girls or whatever else with this lot (meaning "royals"), so we should be thankful even if the names are uncommon (generally or in their respective countries)

Welcome to the world Prince Gabriel! Sweden's royals join proud dad Carl Philip for a thanksgiving service to celebrate his newborn son

Prince, 38, and Princess, 32, shared first image of son at home in Villa Solbacken New mother Sofia was looking fresh-faced and relaxed as son slept The new prince is a sibling for the couple's older son Prince Alexander, one

I did look up Queen Silvia's ancestry because I had recalled there had been a Walther. Indeed her father is Walther Sommerlath. Thus Prince Gabriel's second middle name is after his great-grandfather Walther.

^ Birgitta I think it is. Last time she blew the Christening of Alex off in favour of golfing on Mallorca or some such. The woman has balls I'd say and doesn't give one single fck!

^^ Not suprising really, I'd wager a bet they still don't like each other, but they holidayed with husbands and kids in the summer together in the south of France (I think at the Bernadotte villa there), and on top of that it is simple curtesy - it would have been very odd (and rather scandalous) if Madde hadn't been chosen for Gabe as godparent. It's family/ dynastic politics bascially. And as far as I know the siblings do love each other very much, in spite of some of their terrible choices in spouses (namely Sof).

Princess Sofia: The work ethics of a minor royal and a luxurious budget of a Crown Princess.

Quote

While Sofia doesn’t have more than 36 assignments in 2017 she spent almost double the amount of money in clothes than 2016. She now has a budget very close to the CP Victoria’s. This data didn’t include customize designer clothes. Expressen now wrights that Sofia even exceeded Princess Madeleine on her expensive habits.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt, PCP looked happy, she looked sincere but the spending budget is just the surface. There were articles last month discovering that through her friend she's been making money off of the sales of those dresses and shoes she wore on official engagement. I seriously wonder at the greed of PS. She's part of a royal family, everything is provided for her. How much more that she need?
